They told me I couldnt get SuperCID because I was S-ON and on the latest OTA firmware. They told me to use Unlimted.io and BabyRacun... I am truly only doing this because im sending my phone into Sprint and am scared to give them a rooted phone...:crying:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I told you a hundred times what to do . . . why do you insist on making your life so difficult?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I can't find this Misctool you are talking about I'm sorry. PM sent Capt.

EDIT- OK if I run BabyRacun and then relock and run the 3.15 RUU I should be good then right? I'm only nervous now that I have a 64bit and not 32.

S-ON

MeanBean 3.07

HBOOT 2.09.0000

RADIO 1.12.11.0809

FIRMWARE 3.16.651.3

PRI Version 2.45_003

I ran 3.15 RUU, and then flashed MeanBean 3.07. So, I'm assuming this means the phone is only displaying 3.16 firmware because MeanBean got rebased to 3.16, when in reality my phone still has the 3.15 firmware. Can anyone confirm my suspicions? If so, does this mean it's safe to Facepalm, and if so, should i roll back to a 3.15 rom before doing so?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Your baseband and PRI are not from 3.15 they are 2.13 I believe
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mockingbird946:
Okay, so i have fallen victim to the issue discussed in the "DO NOT FLASH 3.15 RUU" thread... (i saw the thread after it was too late)

So what does this mean for me? Will i still be able to do the Facepalm S-off like this? Because now I have the baseband and PRI from the old 2.13, but i have hboot2.09...

My goal is to get s-off, then flash the 3.15 firmware with hboot removed from the zip, then flash the 3.16 firmware. (i hear that if you go from 2.13 to 3.16 and skip 3.15, you will brick.)

hate to bring this up but im afraid when i push that boot.img that cm10.1 wont work

so i would have to nandroid restore the stock backup then gps lock(cause thats my issue) than flash the img back to cm10.1 and should be good

correct?

thanks in advance for help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BB15:
Pushing the boot.img won't affect your ROM, although I can tell you from experience that you will probably be better off flashing a Sense ROM before doing Facepalm. Just because you're probably going to have to anyway (see my posts on the first couple of pages of this thread).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:
Ok, somehow bricked (and I mean total paperweight... qusb_dload) my phone after 3.15 dirtyracun s-off, flashed Cpt TB firmware to 3.16, installed viper 3.x.x (had problems immediately after such as lagging, no idea why).

Anyways sprint gave me a new phone and looks like they were nice enough to do the ota's for me.

So now I'm 3.16 tampered unlocked using viper since this morning. My lagging issues are gone so something went way wrong last time and I've not a clue what it was.

With that information, can I use this method?

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Also have latest twrp. Don't know if that matters but I figured I'd throw it out there. And the brick happened 5 days after going s-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crispy11:
well my issue is right now when i go to restore back to stock nandroid it wont boot for what ever reason only cm10.1 works, i beleive its because i useed flash img gui to push the img from cm10.1

How are we suppose to SuperCid with this info:

SuperCID for HTC Evo 4G LTE:

Code:

adb shell

su

echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20

I know how to use the command windown with the adb and all that stuff. the info above, which is on the first page of this thread, isnt very descriptive. Just trying to to brick my evo. The other method, i had to go through many steps, replacing numbers with eight "1", and i still was unsuccessful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Use flash IMG again with a stock ROM. Download the ROM and use the app or fast boot flash the boot IMG . i don't know how to restore backups being s-on but i presume you have to flash the kernel seperately
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshow816:
This may help

1. While booted and preferably on a stock ROM open CMD Prompt from your ADB/Fastboot folder

2. I always type adb devices and make sure my phone and computer are talking to each other (it should show your device attached)

3. Type adb shell , and press enter.

4.Type su and press enter.

5. COPY AND PASTE echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20 to avoid errors, press enter.

6. It should say something about 8 in 8 out blah blah

7.PROFIT

If you want to confirm you have attained Super CID you can boot into your bootloader and if you see "2222222" listed then it worked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drobe005:
i dont see "22222222". am i suppose to put in a command to see it? im i able to do it on the software version 3.16.651.3?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:
Went on irc and can't type there for w/e reason so again....

Will this work with 3.16?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshow816:
Possibly. Some have reported it to work on 3.16 firmware, but I don't know. Another way to check if supercid worked would be to open command prompt while in fastboot and type

"fastboot getvar cid" if it shows "2222222" then you have supercid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:
Do I do that with the phone booted or in bootloader? Also I know I don't have supercid, phone came directly from sprint (they kindly did my ota's). But if I try to gain supercid and then check and it says I have it does that mean it'll work?

Sorry so many??? just don't want another bricked phone and Ubuntu is not easy for me to get a hold of.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:

check id says SPCS-001

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jshow816:
If you see SPCS-001 then you do not have superCID. That is what should change to the "2222222"

Anyone get S-off on 3.16 yet. Followed everthing 3 times and no luck here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] I2izzo:
Well, I have been trying to achieve s-off on the newest 3.16 with hboot 2.09... I was going to try dirtyracun, however, my OS isnt supported and I really like this method much better. I tried it 3 times (2 diff computers) and the problem was I couldn't get past the superCID part. Everytime I tried to achieve superCID I would type "fastboot getvar cid" and never get "22222222". Everything else in adb went smoothly except the fail:92 error, I kept getting the fail:99 error like alot of others. I probably will not try dirtyracun and hope we can get this method going for the newest firmware. Its easy and seems to work really well, however, as of now it seems all of us with 3.16 are waiting or going to dirtyracun :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] garrette:
Maybe I will try again deleting HTC sync. In the instructions it says to mount phone to charge only in the first set then again after copy in the CID modification. But as u know u can not longer mount as charge only when connected to computer, u only have HTC SYNC and disk drive option. So was wondering if that was a problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] I2izzo:
Let me know how it goes, I am on 3.16 hboot 2.09 just kinda waiting to see if something newer comes out to gain s-off, I dont have the necessities for dirtyracun.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:
I used dirty/babyracun with win xp 32 NO PROBLEM :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] garrette:
Deleting HTC sync did not work. Guess im waiting also as i only have windows 8 64bit
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stovo06:
While I was talking to Iounlimited.com irc channel, there was someone who s-off with windows 8 64.

I'm not recommending it by any means, but I'd research it if I were you. And you could always use ubuntu (personally I couldn't figure it out).

I s-off'd using windows xp 32bit, also not recommended but it worked for me twice.

FW 3.16.651.3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Notice when you typed the "su" command, the $ in the terminal prompt did not change to a #, which means you never had root access. Thus the reason for the permission denied errors.

How did you root before trying this method?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] beaups:
You need to downgrade using babyracun method. After that you can choose to use facepalm method or unlimited.io method.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] secondechomatt:
I'm a little embarrassed to ask this total noob question. BUT...

What do I with the boot img and the firmware?

Flame away. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
Hey Capt,

Yeah, it took a minute for me to realize that (and someone to point that out to me). I totally overlooked supersu asking to me to grant permission to adb. Once I set SuperSU default to "Grant", I got "root@android:/ #" copy/paste the third line in and I got:

8+0 records in

8+0 records out

8 bytes transferred in 0.006 secs (1333 bytes/sec)

went to fastboot to verify and i'm still on SCPS_001

2.09+3.16 strikes again, I was just hoping maybe it would work.

As to how did I root, I used rawintellect's guide over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038123

Gotta buy that guy a beer!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] beaups:
You need to downgrade in order to get supercid. Babyracun method via unlimited.io and downgrade ruu.zip should suffice. At that point you can decide whether to use DirtyRacun or facepalm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
Hey Beaups,

Looking over the instructions at http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm after what step would you switch from racun to facepalm? Is there a reason to switch over? It seems like if one had gone most of the way through using racun, then they should just finish it up the rest of the way.

On step 10, the instructions say to go to htc dev, get the unlocker_code.bin file. Is that still necessary even if it's already been done (per instructions of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038123)? Is it because using racun will basically wipe everything and pretty much act like the previous root never happened?

For error 99 (assuming you are superCID), just perform a couple FULL power downs and start over
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] beaups:
Your call really. Either way you are going to need to flash the RUU.

If you were to choose facepalm method, you would run babyracun, downgrade via flashing RUU.zip and then root, obtain superCID, then proceed with facepalm method. Or, you could simply continue with dirtyracun method. Totally up to you and the end result is the same ;)
